A LOT of Honda and Toyota loyalists stuck around because of the bulletproof 4/6cyl engines both companies have been using for a very long time (mainly 6cyl for Toyota. Can't speak to their 4 bangers). It's going to be interesting to see what will happen when they go full electric. Their customer base mainly buys these cars for longevity purposes (my dads '06 Toyota Camry XLE has over 400k miles with ZERO issues save for routine maintenance and suspension improvements). Something tells me they're going to need to continue making ICE vehicles indefinitely - at least for SOME models - and I hope so.

Love the 3.5, 280 hp engine with 9 speed transmission. 0-60 in 5.7 when in the sport mode. Rear seats have there own heat and air conditioning controls. Plenty of power ports and a 115 volt outlet. Lots of storage. Actually more than my 2006 Pilot. 6 inches shorter over all but the same wheel base as the Pilot.

I'm glad I bought a 2023 Passport Elite with the arm rests. As a 5' 5" woman with shorter legs, shorter arms I haven't found a center console high enough and long enough to provide me arm/elbow support when driving since my 1996 Ford Explorer. The arm rests on the passport help with multiple ortho surgeries and the flat area on the console was winner for me - easy to place items for quick trips there for accessibility and made a great place to put my fast food bags, doggie bags, etc. Like my Passport but new one doesn't do anything for me - so my 2023 will likely be my last.

I kept hearing that the Passport and Ridgeline were due to get the slightly upgraded 285 hp engine on the new Pilot and the 10-speed transmission, but it sounds like we are stuck with the older V6/trans combination for at least another year. The infotainment doesn't look updated like the Pilot or Accord. Is it any faster? The infotainment is already 5 years old and needs to be brought forward. HPD packages just seem like a waste with them being almost all cosmetic except for more rugged tires, and the wheel covers are pretty darn ugly. Great review, Joe and Lori!

Love the v6 engine, the roomy interior, and the ride, but there are some drawbacks to consider. The current class action lawsuit against the 9 speed transmission makes the 2024 a no go for me. Definitely worth waiting to check out the 2025 Passport redesign though. I heard in 2025 they are going to go with the 10 speed transmission (currently used in the Pilot). Moreover, I can't understand why Honda still uses timing belts instead of chains. It means having to spend a couple thousand dollars changing the belt at about 80k miles. Not an issue with chains. It would be nice if they surprised us by using timing chains next year (I know. Not going to happen). I heard they are redoing the interior too. The larger and newer display will be welcome. A better sound system and speakers would be wonderful. Losing the push button gear shift would be a plus too. I can't wait to see what they offer with the new design.

Is the center console high enough to rest your arm comfortably? I'm probably the minority on this, but I actually like the adjustable armrest the 23's have due to an old injury from a wreck. My console/arm rest on my 2016 hrv isn't really that comfortable.
